Vegans around Britain rejoice - Pizza Hut announced dairy-free cheese has arrived. And it is here to stay.

The world's most profitable pizza franchise had been quietly offering the vegan-cheese option to customers at select restaurants around the country.

But due to popular demand Pizza Hut will be rolling out vegan cheese pizzas across the country.

Gareth Hopley, Head of Communications at Pizza Hut Restaurants, said: "After an amazing customer response to our vegan cheese trial earlier this year, we’re pleased to announce that the dairy-free alternative will now be served in all of our restaurants nationwide and feature as a permanent fixture on our menus.

A PETA spokesperson said: "With a vegan crust, delicious Violife cheese, and a ton of veggie toppings available, Pizza Hut has the opportunity to become a hot spot for people looking to reduce their contribution to animal suffering and environmental destruction as well as to improve their own health".

Pizza Hut now joins other popular pizza chains such as Pizza Express and Zizzi who already offer vegan cheese on their menus.

The vegan cheese pizzas are currently only available at dine-in restaurants but hungry vegans craving a cheesy take-away can order the pizzas to go.

Our American and European vegan cousins aren't so lucky - the vegan cheese pizzas will only be available in the UK.
